Industrial 1/7

Alternative >> Industrial

Industrial music is a genre of music that emerged in the 1970s and is characterized by its use of industrial and mechanical sounds, as well as its themes of technology and society. It is often described as a fusion of punk rock, avant-garde, and electronic music, and is known for its aggressive and abrasive sound.

The origins of industrial music can be traced back to the 1970s, when bands such as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire began incorporating elements of industrial sound into their music. These bands were influenced by a variety of musical and cultural influences, including punk rock, electronic music, and the avant-garde movement.

Some of the most famous industrial bands and artists include Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and Einstürzende Neubauten. These bands are known for their distinctive industrial sound and their influence on the industrial music scene. Some of the most famous industrial songs include Nine Inch Nails' "Head Like a Hole," Ministry's "Stigmata," and Einstürzende Neubauten's "Haus der Lüge."

Industrial music is often used as background music in media, such as films, television shows, and video games, due to its aggressive and abrasive sound. It is also popular at live performances, such as clubs, festivals, and concerts, and is known for its ability to create a dark and intense atmosphere. Industrial music often evokes emotions such as anger, aggression, and rebellion, and has a reputation for its ability to challenge and confront listeners.

The industrial music scene has evolved significantly since its inception in the 1970s. Many industrial bands and artists have incorporated elements of other genres into their music, such as metal, electronic, and experimental, resulting in a diverse range of sub-genres within the industrial music umbrella. Some of these sub-genres include noise, power electronics, and experimental industrial.

In the 1990s, industrial music experienced a resurgence in popularity with the rise of bands such as Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, who combined industrial sounds with elements of metal and gothic music. This fusion of genres helped to bring industrial music to a wider audience and helped to solidify its place in popular culture.

In recent years, industrial music has continued to evolve and expand, with new artists and bands emerging on the scene and incorporating a variety of influences into their music. Some of these influences include electronic dance music, techno, and ambient music.

One of the defining characteristics of industrial music is its use of unconventional sounds and instrumentation. Industrial bands often incorporate the use of electronic and mechanical sounds into their music as well as the use of found objects and other non-traditional instruments. This use of unconventional sounds helps to create a unique and distinctive sound that sets industrial music apart from other genres.

In addition, industrial music is also known for its themes of technology and society. Many industrial bands and artists explore themes such as control, power, and rebellion in their music, often using lyrics and imagery to challenge and confront the listener. This exploration of societal themes helps to give industrial music a sense of depth and meaning beyond its aggressive and abrasive sound.

A slow, sizzling, determined beat meets up with retro funk riffs, metal guitar chords and slow, methodical synths to create a sizzling, pumping, 'rough & tumble' style Big Beat track. This track has a feeling of something relentless, unforgiving and unstoppable. Something that will just keep going, undeterred, until everything in its way has been crushed into submission. Cool, gritty, rough and tough, determined and dominant. Good for inner city brawl, conflict, mechanoids or transformers, high tech warfare, modern weapons, bad-ass tough guys, etc.


Heat Machine (Underscore version)

A mean, forceful, unforgiving Big Beat track that blends elements of techno, industrial, rock and funk to create a groovy and funky style of gritty music, recently made famous by groups such as The Crystal Method. A slamming funk beat is joined by distorted synths and hard biting guitar riffs. Entirely groove based, there isn't much melody to speak of, but the music carries a sense of relentless motion and power.


The Punisher (Underscore version)
